Helpful Information for Twelfth Night

Today is the Twelfth Day of Christmas--time to put away your Christmas decorations. It's bad luck to leave them out any longer.

If you are wondering what to do with the tree once it is stripped of its lights, ornaments, and tinsel, here is the word from the Department of Public Works. Put your Christmas tree at the curb or in the alley--wherever you put your garbage and your recyclables for pick up--and DPW will take it away. They won't take it with the garbage or the recyclables, but they will pick it up when they get the chance. Get your tree out there soon. The last day for Christmas tree collection is Friday, January 29.COPYRIGHT 2016 CAROLE OSTERINK

Who invented this 12th night business? Now that the temperature has plummeted, I'm enjoying the coziness of lights and decorations and the smell of needles and pitch more than ever. Twelfth night: bah humbug!

About The Gossips of Rivertown

This blog takes its name from the 1850 novel by Hudson author Alice B. Neal. The original Gossips of Rivertown cast a gimlet eye on Hudson society in the mid-19th century. More than a century and a half later, the new Gossips carries on the spirit of the original, but in a different genre and with a different focus.
